Lightweight is in the eye of the holder. My new lightweight hunting rifle weighs just over 10 lbs and handles like a dream and feels lighter than it is. Compared to the 13 lb plus guns I was normally hunting with this one is a lightweight ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/CMnDbSyD/9-A92-F2-FB-36-CC-4495-8-D09-7869-AC56142-B.jpg)

Nice looking rifle.
What caliber is that bad-boy?

I’ve got lots of lightweight rigs, but I honestly gravitate to my well balanced set ups more so than my 6 pound full up rifles.
Plus I love iron sighted rifles

In rifle's I think to many actually take weight to to much of an extreme for me.

It is a .45-70. I have had a few fly weight rifles that were nice to carry but I realized most are ugly and life is too short to hunt with an ugly gun

Haha. I crossed more contour lines elk hunting last week than the entire state of Florida even has. I barely got through it with a short-action Kimber Hunter.
